Since i need to kit these, and now that I can take pics i thought i would put some idea of what they are. They are intended for marine use and have no choke.

There is a little wand that shoots a spurt of gas every time you push the throttle all the way down. I also learned after spending 100 buck on the kits that the kit consisted of a 4 dollar jet, a 2 dollar holley diaphragm, and one gasket that I could have easily made myself. The good news is that all of the screws and fittings are brass and the seals are brass as well instead of being rubber.

view of float bowl from bottem, and bottom case from top. the brass valve on bottom case is a one way valve that is channeled to the wand at the back of the carb.
